The resulting feed is one in which links are variously demoted. Links are hat-tips, polite credits, or customary reminders that there is more to see, somewhere else, if you care. They contain the leftovers--the things that weren’t good enough for the screenshot, the highlight, and the post. Eventually, they’re metadata.
